Footnotes

1. Here, at what according to the
modern pagination is the end of the
Letter-Book, are copies of Coroners'
Rolls for the years 1275-1278, the
original Rolls being apparently lost.
Selections from these Rolls having
been already printed at the commencement of Riley's 'Memorials,'
little more has been attempted here
than to supply omissions and correct
misreadings.

17. Water carrier. The charge for
carrying water to houses from Castle
Baynard and Dowgate to Chepe by
"carters called water-leders" was
fixed by the civic authorities in 1350
(Letter-Book F, fo. 181; 'Memorials,'
p. 254). The ordinances of the Fellowship (whose patron saint was St. Christopher), "founded and ordeyned in
the Frere Augustyns of London, and
acknowledged before Thomas Brent,
Doctor of Law and Commissary of
London, the See then being void,
20 Oct., 1496," are printed in the
'Transactions,' London and Middlesex Archæol. Soc., for 1871.

36.
Barem'; perhaps for baremannos,
biermen (Riley). The term, as applied
more especially to the wine trade,
appears to have given the name of
"Bermancherche" to the church
of St. Martin in the Vintry.

37. A lane known as "Sevehodeslane" was situate in the Jewry, where
the murderer was supposed to have
taken the property he had stolen from
his master. As to its etymology, see
'Cal. Letter-Book A,' p. 12 n.

65. According to an entry in the
'Liber Custumarum' (Rolls Series,
i. 239), Matthew de "Columbariis"
was Chamberlain and also the King's
Butler from 5 May, 6 Edward I.
[A.D. 1278], until the close of his
life on 19 March, 29 Edward I.
[A.D. 1300-1].

73. The Ward then known as the
"Ward of Ludgate and Newgate
within and without," recently the
Ward of Anketind'Auvergne, on whose
death (circa 1277) it came to Ralph
le Fevere. See 'Cal. Letter-Book A,'
p. 11n.

79. According to the 'Liber Cust.'
(i. 239), Matthew de Columbariis was
Coroner from the Feast of St. Bartholomew [24 Aug.], 6 Edward I.
[A.D. 1278], until Innocents' Day
[28 Dec.], 7 Edward I. [A.D. 1278],
when he appointed John Horn to be
Coroner in his place. But the list of
Mayors, Sheriffs, Chamberlains, and
Coroners from 4 Edward I. to 14 Edward II. is (as already seen) not
always to be trusted.

80. The memorable Iter, lasting from
January, 1321, until the following
July, particulars of which are set out
in 'Liber Cust.' (i. 285, et seq.).
The writ and note are later insertions.
